As a native Pacific NW, born and raised in Washington State, I was introduced to Tim’s Cascade chips as a toddler surprisingly enough. On a road trip I saw my parents eating chips and wanted them. My persistence paid off, but I was soon wailing for ‘Wa-Wa!’ Don’t you worry, the spice did not deter me from continuing to devour these deliciously spicy morsels. I am a 40 year old to 3 boys that also love these chips. We live in Florida and thank goodness for World Market for stocking these, I just wish there were more option to ensure my pantry stays stocked. Ps I truly believe if you sold just the spice on these chips, they would be amazing on EVERYTHING!
